Hmm - not sure if the solution will work long term, but for what it's worth, I have seen a few YouTube videos of Mbuna tanks with Clown Loaches in them. Hopefully it works out. Wish you lived near me, I'd take those Clowns for my barb tank! :)

That's a great shot Dizz. Your tank looks great as well! You sure have a way with "titles" though, first your Craigslist ad now your movie title. :) Maybe I should just get my mind out of the gutter!

That's going to be a nice mixture of colors! All of my Red Zebras, Labs and Acei have great personalities! Thanks! Yeah, I get lucky every once in a while at the LFS. It's kind of hit or miss around here (Phoenix, AZ) with what you'll find. Luckily my wife loves the way the fish look and...

I went into the LFS just "to look around." All of us here know that we rarely leave with nothing! :D Finally found a Greshakei, so I couldn't pass him up! Also found a nice looking (m) Red Zebra for my females. I'm going to have to force myself to stay away from the LFS for a while!

Very nice! The music is so calming! LOL. I love your Malawi tank and it's inhabitants!

I can't find ONE of these (Greshakei) and you stumble across and hand pick a male and female?! This just isn't right! :) Nice finds. The male is starting to look really nice.

Nice looking tank spoon! I'm jealous of all your tanks...I'm trying to convince the wife that more IS better! Keep us posted with updated pics. BTW - the skull is a nice touch...makes it really peaceful! LOL.

I've always liked your tank set up Spoon! The sand makes it look that much better. Curious, what type of plants are those? I'm looking to add some real plants to my mbuna tank, but not sure what kind they won't eat! :)

Hi Dizz! I enjoy your videos. I watch them, just don't leave comments. I'll be sure to drop a line every now and again. You have some really nice tanks and the videos are great quality! Please don't stop posting them! :)

If I had to guess, I would say yes! I'm jealous if it is. I really want one of these and can't find one! Nice looking fish either way.

Tank set up looks nice! I like the colors on the betta!

I scrubbed them down with a hard-bristle brush then soaked them for a few hours in the tub. Rinsed them off and put them in. I've had them in there for about 2 weeks now and no issues so far (crossing fingers). I avoided anything that looked like it contained "metals" or "sparkled."...

Looks great Spoon. Sand is definitely nicer to look at!

Thanks again for the compliments. I added a few more rocks today. Also added 2 Yellow Tail Acei (Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei"). My Hongi is a camera-hog and managed to get himself in the pic as well. :p

I'm having a hard time finding different variety of mbuna to stock my tank with. I was browsing through a local Petco today whereas they only had 2 "mixed" African Cichlid tanks - no species specific tanks. Sadly, my selection has been limited to this point, so I'm hoping to find some...

Thanks for the info. We'll see what happens! :)

This is my first time participating, so I'm not sure of the rules...(i.e. how many pics I can post each month) :confused: Anyway, here are pics I took a few days after getting my new camera (Canon Rebel XS). I was just walking around the house/yard taking random pictures. :clown: Yes, I...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Those were just air bubbles on the glass. It has since cleared up. Also added my first batch of fish. Started with: 3x Labidochromis caeruleus 1x Labidochromis sp. "Hongi" (SRT) The Yellow Labs didn't want to be in the pics, but I did manage to get one of...

Hi - I'm still fairly "new" to this hobby, so please help me out here. :) I noticed today that one of my Albino Tiger Barbs is "larger" than normal. I feed them 2x a day (once in the morning and once at night). They're fed TetraMin Tropical Flakes. The other fish are all what I'd deem...

Hi guys. I'm in the process of going from a S. American tank to an African (Mbuna) tank. Just finished putting the sand and rocks in so there's still quite a few little air bubbles. What do you think? BEFORE: AFTER: It's a 55 gal tank and I used pool filter sand. The rocks were from...

FS: (AZ) S. American Cichlids: Jack Dempsey, Oscar, Blk Convict, Firemouth & a Pleco! Selling the South American Cichlids that came with the tank I bought. The actual fish are pictured below. Buy all 5 fish for $20!!! or buy individuals (prices below): Type: Oscar Size: Appx. 7...

It's a Second Nature - Acura 150 Watt heater. Room temperature sits right about 78 degrees. Yeah, I'm running a couple of air stones in there. I'll try your suggestion of lowering the water level. The tank is not in front of a window, but it is in my "front" room (has about 4 windows)...

Hi there - I have a quick heater settings question. I recently added a heater to the tank; didn't realize I needed one initially. I have my heater set to 76 but the temp in the tank is showing close to 90 degrees. Is there a trick to the "right" heater temp setting that I'm just missing...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll be returning the convict to the LFS and starting my mbuna tank! I'm excited! Thanks again!

Hi guys! This is my first post so please excuse my ignorance. I've been on this site for about 3 days now and am overwhelmed and inspired by the amount of information contained within it. I only wish I would have stumbled upon it a few weeks earlier. I have a 29g tank given to me by my...
